srcasm Getting my feet wet with web services
So, I'm just getting my feet wet with web services and there is one thing that I can't seem to figure out. I get how to accept data to my web service as XML but what if I just wanted a string of variables posted? I.e. my web service currently looks like this:
global class TestWebServ {
webService static string getInfo(String info) {
Account a = new Account(name = 'Test Information', description = info);
insert a;
return 'Completed!';
}
}
I would like to send data to this service by simply posting to:
https://address_to_web/service?something=part1&somethingelse=part2&onemorething=part3
Is this possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
global class TestWebServ {
webService static string getInfo(String info) {
Account a = new Account(name = 'Test Information', description = info);
insert a;
return 'Completed!';
}
}

Thank you for the info. I think that I'm looking for the exact opposite functionality. I would like to make a call (from an external app to Salesforce) in that HTTP format. So an outside app would call:
https://na6-api.salesforce.com/services/Soap/class/TestWebService?variable1=test1&variable2=test2
with a request. And SF would take those variables and do something with them.
Enabling an Apex Web Service, as your sample does, will enable a SOAP-based web service. Not a RESTful web service.
